convertible seats?

I had a early morning thought: I'm thinking of seats with integrated seat belts and I thought of seats from a convertible. The only question I thought of is would you be offset to the right? thoughts?

Re: convertible seats?

Another important consideration is the floor is not designed for the loads a shoulder harness imposes in the event of an accident in such a configuration. The stock buckets have floor reinforcements added to the bench seat floorpan.

Re: convertible seats?

Yep. I've looked at many of the other threads where people have installed newer seats and reinforced the floor. All of those have been from other pickups. This was one of those quick out of the box thoughts I get.
